How expensive is it to legally fill an iPod?

By Dennis Lloyd ● Sunday, November 9, 2003

I don’t know how many other people have done the math on this one, but I was thinking about iTunes and the new iPod when I realized that to fill a 40GB iPod (legally) from iTunes would be rather expensive. If you believe the 10,000 song capacity, it would run $9900 dollars, plus the cost of the iPod. Assuming that an average CD album is $12.50 and has 15 tracks, it would cost about $8,330 dollars to fill the iPod. All this makes me wonder when a more affordable alternative is going to turn up.
